66 Ocean Ridge Drive

Property Overview

66 Ocean Ridge Drive is a well-established, spacious family home in Winnipeg's Linden Ridge neighbourhood. Built in 2001, it offers over 2,100 square feet of living space on a generous 6,500+ square foot lot. Its assessed value of $640,000 positions it as a premium property within the city overall, yet it sits at a more accessible price point within its own desirable street and neighbourhood. This creates a unique value proposition: you get a home that stands out in the broader Winnipeg market while being competitively priced among local peers.

The appeal lies in its balance of space, location, and relative value. It suits buyers looking for a move-in ready home in a mature, sought-after area without the premium of a brand-new build. It’s particularly well-suited for growing families who prioritize interior space and a established community over having the newest home on the block. A thoughtful perspective is that this property offers the "second-wave" advantage in a neighbourhood—the original owners have likely invested in landscaping and updates, and the community's character is fully formed, yet the home is modern enough to avoid major systemic overhauls.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value compare to likely selling price?
While the assessed value is $640,000, the home last sold for between $550,000-$600,000 in 2020. Market conditions, recent upgrades, and buyer demand will determine the final sale price, but the assessment suggests strong long-term value growth potential.

2. Is the lot size a pro or a con?
The lot is above average city-wide but slightly below average for Linden Ridge. This means you still get a substantial yard for city living, but with potentially less maintenance than some larger lots in the immediate area—a plus for those who want outdoor space without excessive upkeep.

3. What does the "below average" year built ranking mean?
In this context, it simply means it's one of the older homes on Ocean Ridge Drive, where most homes were built around 2003-2004. A 2001 build is still modern by Winnipeg standards and is well above the city-wide average home age.

4. Who would this home not suit?
Buyers seeking a brand-new, custom-built home or the absolute largest lot in the neighbourhood may want to look elsewhere. It’s also less suited for those aiming for the lowest price point in Linden Ridge.

5. How can I get precise historical sale data?
The exact sold price history is available upon request. You can provide your email to the listing service for a manual, prompt response with accurate figures, with assurance that your contact information won’t be used for unsolicited marketing.
